  1. That blue should look sharp out in the sun. Curious to see how your interior color looks as I am getting ready to start on a model with a dark red interior and cannot decide on what color to use.
  2. If severe weather is truly expected, it is better to be safe than to be sorry. Has anyone received "official" word that it is canceled? I have seen many photos of 1:1 car shows that show the field (and a lot of nice cars) under two feet of water because of Spring showers. Some areas are more prone to flooding than others, like some of those valleys in WV.
  3. If he stays out of trouble, I bet he gets a top 10. Wouldn't be surprised if at some point he leads a lap or two.
  4. You can try a local auto body supply house to see if they have any small/cheap paint filters, but probably find them cheaper online. What about the paint filters you can get from Home Depot or Lowes?
  5. You may be too close when you are taking the photos, they are all a bit out of focus. Step back a bit to get a good focused shot. You can use a photo editing program to crop/resize the photo to get the zoomed in effect. Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.
  6. You guys don't know what slow is until you try to move a thread to the proper location. 3-4 minutes watching the cursor spin, 3-4 times a day. Dave is working with the technical support department for the software this board uses. Once they get it figured out he will schedule another shutdown.
  7. Locked.
  8. I use the Tamiya Extra Thin on all of my models. It holds well enough. You can use it to attach clear parts, just need to be careful as it does fog.
  9. If I remember correctly, your avatar will be a direct upload to the site, not a shared link from a hosting site. Doing like Bill mentioned, saving to your hard drive and uploading from there, should work.
  10. I think the reason it got kicked out in the first place is because he shipped as 1st class package and not 1st class envelope. It would be considered an envelope as long as the contents didn't make a bulge larger than 1/4". There is no reason for it to be considered Priority. I think the postal worker is the one who decided to charge for Priority, I think they are wrong. Would at least have a conversation with your Post Office about this.
  11. I think this has run it's course.
  12. I have 3 of these kits in the stash. I can only hope they turn out half as nice as yours. They look good in white. One of mine will be white and blue. Thanks for sharing.
  13. I have family from Nitro and Clendenin. Welcome!
  14. Thanks for sharing these. I am going to have to see if I can find some vintage races close to home. I always enjoy seeing the older cars out on the track. Those open wheel cars look so short. First glance, I thought it was a carting class.
  15. This is a good time to remind everyone about the report post function (see the announcement at the top of every page). I see that Paul has deleted his original post, so I will lock this thread.
  16. It's a factory wheel stander. Been a long time since you could go to your local dealership and get one of those. Building a car that requires a full cage (if you want to make a second pass) to drag race is just showing off. Probably why I like it!
  17. Harry - Technically Modelhaus is still in business (finishing up orders). Coming on here and saying you want to copy the work from one of the most respected resin casters in the hobby is not going to sit well with many folks here. There are currently several active threads on this board discussing just what you are trying to do.
  18. Not a Steelers fan, but most everyone (including opposing players) have nothing but praise for the Rooney family. That goes a long way in this era when some owners are considered the enemy, even by their own players.
  19. This is a shocking announcement, but one I am glad to see.
  20. I found the '29 at Hobby Lobby last week. Looks like I can have my LHS order the '30 in a few months.
  21. I have not had this problem and unfortunately do not know how to fix it. Did you try logging out and then back in?
  22. I had forgotten he was in Kelly's Heros. He is the first foul mouthed comic that I remember seeing.
  23. Both the Torino and Charger should be good sellers. There were lots of folks wanting the stock versions.
  24. Congratulations on the new job! Maybe your travels will get you in range of a few different model clubs. Get out there, make new friends.
  25. Yes, please keep politics out of any discussion on this board. If there is any question as to whether something would be considered political, don't post it.
